The Pier Table by Joseph Meeks & Sons has a rectangular top made of dark-colored marble with brown and tan veins. The top has a decorative molding around the edges. The table top is supported by a lower shelf of the same wood as the rest of the frame. The frame is made of polished mahogany or a similar reddish-brown wood. The table has four legs with curved ends and decorative scrollwork on the sides. The scrollwork consists of curved pieces of wood that are shaped like a hook or a swirl. The table is shown at an angle with the front and right side visible. The background is a plain gray color.
